Donald Trump told reporters he had "no preference" over who the conclave would elect as the new pope.

    To be fair, it would be in line with the practiced values of the Catholic Church throughout history.

    They were pro-Nazi until the Nazis were gone. Then ohmygawdwemadeamistaaaake

    We should make Biden pope just to piss Trump off.

    Hear me out here - what if we tell Trump he “won ‘pope’”, and he should come to Vatican City to collect his prize. Say it’s a beautiful prize or some bs. Then when he comes to collect, the Swiss Guard can arrest him for wearing a blue suit to the funeral or something, and lock him in the catacombs under the city to add him to the church’s collection of curiosities.

    First qualification of being pope is you have to know how to run a religious or criminal org. Having successfully run a casino on your resume would do it.

    Let me check Trump’s resume… oh dear. This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone fail at running a casino.

    Old? Check. Male? Check. Hung out on Epstein island? Check.

    Seems like a perfect match to me.

    Aren’t most Christians in the US Protestants? Especially the Evangelical Protestants he’s always targeting? Does Trump even know what kind of Christians he’s trying to please?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t know not all Christians actually follow the pope

      Technically the only 100% necessary qualifications to be pope are:

      1. Be a man
      2. Be (specifically) Catholic

      And a third extremely common but not strictly necessary qualification of: Be a Cardinal.

      I’m pretty sure Trump is some flavor of Baptist, which does in theory prevent his rise to the papacy, unless he specifically converts from whatever flavor of Baptist to Catholicism. But that risks alienating the evangelical protestants that fucking hate Catholics and think the papacy is the satanic antichist.

    The pope has absolute power and authority over the Catholic Church. If Trump were elected pope I guarantee the first thing he would do is empty the bank accounts of the church, sign over all the property they have all over the world to himself, collect all the art etc, perhaps make the Sistine chapel his personal residence, and ban everyone except security and family from entering the Vatican.

    It would be hilarious. The Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest entities in the world… and Trump would immediately put it all in his name permanently if he became pope.

    He’s already destroying the US. Maybe he can destroy the Catholic Church, too.

      being the worst US president was too easy. Most of them were kinda decent people overall. Being the worst pope ever though… I guess he likes the challenge
